At the start of care for each of our clients, an individualized emergency-evacuation plan is formulated based on the specific needs of the client.

The following is also documented in this plan:

• Physician’s orders and recommendations
• Medical Diagnosis, if applicable
• Allergies, if any
• Physical limitations, if applicable
• Personal Preferences
• Client’s medications and treatment
• Client’s medical supplies and equipment
• Transportation needs in the event of an evacuation

Norman’s Nursing will provide a caregiver, if needed, who is able to remain with the client for an extended period of time (until the emergency is over). This service is provided whether or not evacuating with Norman’s Nursing to their chosen facility or to a different location chosen by the client.

Norman’s Nursing will arrange accommodations for the client and their family to a safe location. Accommodations for clients with pets are also available, based upon availability.

Norman’s Nursing nurses and nurse aides provide the finest care to clients
